Tom Lee Park

Memphis, TN

Tom Lee Park in Memphis, Tennessee, is an inspiring example of mass timber's potential to shape public spaces through sustainable design and engineered wood products. The park’s new canopy structures highlight the versatility and aesthetic of Southern Yellow Pine glulam, which forms expansive beams typically measuring 10.5 by 48 inches. With lengths reaching 130 feet, these beams underscore the impressive scale and strength, creating sheltered spaces ideal for community gatherings. This mass timber application not only contributes to the park’s organic look but also harnesses the structural efficiency and environmental benefits of locally sourced timber, setting a new benchmark for urban green space enhancement. The Tom Lee Park canopy structure was designed by Studio Gang and opened to the public in 2022.
